Assuming that you have the "universal" power supply which operates automaticallyy over the range 110-240 VAC & 50-60 Hz (and not the 110VAC power supply furnished with some Thinkpads in North America), you should have no trouble. I've used 750C and 755CD Thinkpads with the universal supply in Hong Kong, Europe, and the Middle East. Also, I've used a Compaq with a similar universal supply in Beijing, Nanjing, Shanghai, Guangzhou (Canton), Singapore, and Malaysia. You will need either an adapter for the local power outlets so that you can plug your power cord into the wall or a cord with a local power plug on one end and a US type computer socket on the other, but you can generally obtain these wherever you are. If you have the universal supply, you will not need a stepdown transformer. Hope this helps.
